Feature

●The 14.60 effective Megapixel of SAMSUNG digital camera sensor. (High dynamic range.)

●Built-in Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) minimizes or prevents digital images from becoming blurred due to camera shake.

●Features an Auto-Focussensor with 11 focusing points. The central 9 are wide cross area sensors.

●Improved manual focusing using a viewfinder similar to a conventional 35 mm SLR camera, with 0.95x magnification. Also features a superimpose function in which the focus points on the viewfinder illuminate red.

●Features a large 2.7-inch LCD monitor with 230,000 pixels and a Brightness Adjusting function for high-precision viewing performance.

●The Large, High-Resolution LCD Monitor and clear menus make the camera Easy to Operate.

●The SP Coated Sensor minimises dust. Any Remaining dust can be removed with sensor clear function.

●You can select JPEG or RAW image format. Or you can select JPEG and RAW at the same time.

●This is a Dustproof and Damp Proof camera for safe outdoor shooting.

●Features a Digital Preview function for checking the image to ensure that the desired result is achieved.

●The comfort and flexibility of the continuous Liveview function directly on the LCD is available to users.

●The Picture Wizard function enables you to adjust image before shooting. You can create the image you desire by adjusting the colour tone, saturation, and contrast and so on.

The captured area (view angle) will differ between the GX-20 and 35mm SLR cameras even if the same lens is used because the format size for 35mm film and the sensor are different.

Sizes for 35mm film and Size of Sensor

35mm film: 36mm x 24mm

GX-20 sensor: 23.4mm X 15.5mm

Angles of view being equal, the focal length of a lens used with a 35mm camera must be approximately 1.5 times longer than that of GX-20. To get the equivalent angle of view for a full-frame 35mm camera, divide the focal length of the 35 mm camera by 1.5. (When you use the GX-20 for shooting.)

Example) To get the equivalent angle of view of a 150 mm lens on a full-frame 35mm camera, you will get “100,” dividing 150 by 1.5.

Use a 100mm lens with the GX-20.

The equivalent focal length on a full-frame 35 mm camera is calculated in a opposite way of calculation as follows:

Example) If 300mm lens is used with GX-20 300x1.5=450

Focal length is equivalent to 450mm lens on a 35mm camera.

ÄCalculation method used above is to help users understand products and the results may be different depending on the types of lenses or the shooting environment. Calculated focal length value is based on the difference between the 35 mm film format and camera sensor in size. (GX-20 was used as standard to compare.)

GX-20 specifications

The Samsung GX-20 is a notable digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) camera that debuted in 2007, capturing the interest of photography enthusiasts and professionals alike. As part of Samsung's foray into the DSLR market, the GX-20 offers a range of features and technologies designed to enhance the photography experience.

At the core of the GX-20 lies its 14.6-megapixel APS-C size CCD sensor, which provides high-resolution images with excellent detail and clarity. This sensor allows for a wide ISO range, from 100 to 6400, giving photographers the flexibility to capture images in various lighting conditions without sacrificing image quality.

One of the standout features of the GX-20 is its dual image stabilization system, which employs both sensor-shift technology and optical lens stabilization. This combination helps reduce the impact of camera shake, allowing for sharper images, especially in low-light environments or when using telephoto lenses.

The camera's design is both ergonomic and sturdy, featuring a weather-sealed body that ensures durability when shooting in challenging weather conditions. The 2.7-inch LCD screen provides a clear view for composing shots and reviewing images, and it incorporates live view functionality, enabling users to shoot from different angles easily.

In terms of autofocus, the GX-20 is equipped with a 11-point autofocus system, which enhances focus accuracy and speed. Photographers can choose between multiple autofocus modes, including single-shot, continuous, and manual focus, providing flexibility for various shooting scenarios.

Additionally, the GX-20 supports a range of advanced shooting modes, including face detection, scene modes, and exposure bracketing, allowing users to easily adapt to different photography styles. The camera also incorporates an in-camera RAW processing feature, enabling photographers to edit their images without the need for external software.

Connectivity options on the GX-20 include USB 2.0 for data transfer and support for SD/SDHC memory cards for storage. With an average battery life of approximately 600 shots, users can confidently shoot without the constant worry of running out of power.

Overall, the Samsung GX-20 represents a solid choice for both amateur and seasoned photographers. With its blend of high-resolution imaging, robust performance, and thoughtful design, it offers an appealing package that stands the test of time in the ever-evolving world of digital photography.
